Only had to watch 15 seconds. Santelli, et al are supposedly reporters. Reporters are supposed to report. Period. Don’t know how it is at the chron, but sop is only editors are allowed to insert emotiona nd direction for audience into a piece. If you give your opinion you are an opinionater, not a reporter. Golly gee, Lois lane, Clark Kent knew the difference.

The Daily Show may not be news by the strictest definition, but it is really great at providing perspective.

What’s really cool is that The Daily Show really doesn’t care about the politics. Their only concern is what is funny. Funny, is non-partisan (unlike facts, which have a well documented liberal bias)..

Kyrie, Gawker printed a rumor about the Houston Chronicle and the San Antonio Express-News merging. Care to comment? I’m only asking for the entertainment value of your opinion, not for any inside scoop or anything like that.

Tim — Gawker! There’s an outside chance they know more than I do, but here’s what I know: Over the past little while, the two papers have been sharing some content, which makes sense, because you don’t really need two people or papers doing the same thing. We will continue to do so, and will probably be doing more of it. That’s not exactly papers “merging”.

Oh, puh-leeze. I’ll give you that Stewart and his show excel at being funny. But if you don’t think they’re all about the politics while they’re having fun, then you have completely lost touch with reality.

Go read up on the last few months of the Rocky Mountain News. “Sharing some content” is exactly what they did with the Denver Post. That would be a “leading indicator” in my mind.

I liked that first coin they made…where it had her holding baby Lewis on one side of it. I know that because it that baby didn’t look anything like Clark. I guess that was when he got lost on that one part of the Oregon Trail for two weeks while her and Lewis were back at the tent.
